ALT God has been so good to me and I firmly believe that’s because often the energy that you put out to the universe comes back to you. Let me share a prayer I learned as a child. If you’re a different religion than me or nonreligious or agnostic, that’s fair and I respect you, but maybe you can take this concepts and apply them to your beliefs. Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
